After the weekend sweep, the Texas Longhorns dropped out of the top 25 for the first time this season, but bounced back on Tuesday with a seven-inning, run-rule win over the Houston Baptist Huskies at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, 13-3.
Texas scored four runs in the first inning on the first five pitches from Houston Baptist right-hander Daxton Tinker and never looked back. Center fielder Douglas Hodo III and left fielder Ace Whitehead led off the game with back-to-back bunt singles, first baseman Ivan Melendez hit a line-drive double into the left-center gap, and second baseman Murphy Stehly followed with a two-run home run.
